Car A gets 25 miles per gallon and costs $13,000. Car B is a hybrid that gets 45 miles per gallon, but costs $25,000. Assume you drive 15,000 miles per year and that gas will cost $4 per gallon for the foreseeable future. How many years will it take for Car B's better fuel economy to outweigh its higher initial cost?

Answers

Answer 1
The initial cost of car B is 25,000.

The cost of fuel consumed in n years by car B is 
     [tex]=n\times \frac{15000\:miles}{year}\times \frac{1\:gallon}{45\:miles}\times \frac{4\:dollars}{gallon}[/tex]

Equate the initial cost to the cost of fuel
     [tex]25000=n\times \frac{15000\:miles}{year}\times \frac{1\:gallon}{45\:miles}\times \frac{4\:dollars}{gallon}[/tex]

     [tex]25000=\frac{4000n}{3}[/tex]

     [tex]n=\frac{25000\left(3\right)}{4000}[/tex]

     [tex]n=18.75[/tex]

It will take 18.75 years for Car B's better fuel economy to outweigh its higher initial cost.

David and Terri drove a small motorboat down a river with the current. The rate the boat traveled in still water was r miles per hour, and the current’s average speed was   c miles per hour. It took them 1.5 hours to travel 4 miles downstream. Which of the following equations can be used to represent this information?

Answers

speed of boat r mi/hr
speed of currect c mi/hr
speed downstream (c+r) mi/hr
but
distance= 4miles
time=1.5 hours
thus
speed=distance/time
hence:
4/1.5=(c+r)
thus
4=1.5c+1.5r
hence the answer is:

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x)=x^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x)=-x^2. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between tye parent function f(x) and its image g(x)

Answers

The graph of g(x) = -x^2 is a reflection in the x-axis of the graph of f(x) = x^2. Both graphs have one x-intercept as both graphs have their vertices at the origin, (0,0).

You have two exponential functions. One function has the formula g(x) = 5 x . The other function has the formula h(x) = 5-x . Which option below gives formula for k(x) = (g - h)(x)?

k(x) = 10x
k(x) = 5x + 5-x
k(x) = 5x - 5-x
k(x) = 2(5x)

Answers

Hmm it would be k(x)=2(5x) or it could be k(x)=10x

Hope this helps!

g(x) = 5x

h(x) = 5 - x

k(x) = (g - h)(x)

k(x) = g(x) - h(x)

k(x) = 5x - (5 - x)

Hence, the correct option is k(x) = 5x - 5-x

Margie has a $50 budget to purchase a $45 pair of boots if there is an 8% sales tax rate then how much under budget will Marjorie be

Answers

Boots + (Boots * Tax %) < $50 budget

$45 + ($45 * 8%) < $50
45 + (45 * 0.08) < 50
45 + 3.60 < 50
48.60 < 50

Subtract the total boot cost from the total budgeted amount.

= 50 - 48.60
= $1.40 under budget


ANSWER: She will be $1.40 under budget.

Hope this helps! :)
Sales Tax = 8% x $45 = 0.08 x 45 = $3.60

Cost of Boots with Sales Tax = $45 + $3.60 = $48.60

Factor completely; 100-9x^2

Answers

Answer:
(10 - 3x)(10 + 3x)

Explanation:

This type of question yields what is called a difference of squares, which is recognizable because of the subtraction (-) operation between the two terms of the binomial. When questions like this are seen, the formula for difference of squares can be implemented. This formula is:

(a² - b²) = (a - b)(a + b)

With this, we can square root both terms of the original binomial and plug our variables for a and b into the formula.

Let 100 = a², let 9x² = b²

√(100) = 10
√(9x²) = 3x

Those values are now a and b, respectively, so when we place them in their spots in the formula, the completed factoring is: (10 - 3x)(10 + 3x)

To check this answer for accuracy, we can use the FOIL method and combine like terms to see if it gives us the original equation. FOIL stands for Firsts, Outsides, Insides, and Lasts, instructing us which terms should be multiplied together so:

Firsts: 10(10) = 100
Outsides: 10(3x) = 30x
Insides: -3x(10) = -30x
Lasts: -3x(3x) = -9x²

We place them in the same equation and combine like terms:
100 + 30x - 30x - 9x²
100 + 0 - 9x²
100 - 9x²

We are back to our original equation so the answer of (10 - 3x)(10 + 3x) is accurate.

A small submarine starts at –1,260 feet in relation to sea level. Then it descends 5 feet per minute for 12 minutes. What is the new position of the submarine in relation to sea level? –1,260 + (–5)(12) = –1,260 + 60 = –1,200

Answers

The submarine is at -1260 ft.
It descends 5 ft/min for 12 min.
12 min * 5 ft/min = 60 ft.
It descended 60 ft, so you must subtract 60 ft from -1260 ft.
-1260 ft + (-5)(12) ft = -1260 ft - 60 ft = -1320 ft

The error in the last line in the problem is that (-5)(12) = -60, not 60.
The correct line is:
-1260 + (-5)(12) = -1260 - 60 = -1320

The new position of the submarine in relation to sea level is -1,200 feet.

Your calculation is correct. To find the new position of the submarine in relation to sea level after descending at a rate of 5 feet per minute for 12 minutes, you can use the formula:

New position = Initial position - (Rate of descent * Time)

In this case:

New position = -1,260 feet - (5 feet/minute * 12 minutes)

= -1,260 feet - 60 feet

= -1,200 feet

So, the new position of the submarine in relation to sea level is -1,200 feet.

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B

distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
so

step 1

where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2

where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4

When a transversal is perpendicular to two parallel lines, all the angles formed measure 90°. Explain why.

Answers

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, due to the natures of the different relationships among the angles, all of them will be either equal to the measure of the first angle or equal to that angle subtracted from 180.  If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, forms a right angle, then both the angle given and the angle subtracted from 180 will be 90.  This means all of the angles will be 90.

Final answer:

When a transversal intersects parallel lines perpendicularly, all angles formed are right angles (90°). This is due to perpendicular lines creating right angles and the angles at the intersection points being equal in measure because of the corresponding angle postulate.

Explanation:

When a transversal is perpendicular to two parallel lines, all the angles formed measure 90° because of the geometric properties of parallel lines and transversals. A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points. In the case of perpendicular transversals and parallel lines, the angles formed are called right angles.

If we consider two parallel lines, like railway tracks, they never meet and are always the same distance apart, maintaining a 180° straight line angle between them. A transversal that is perpendicular to these lines would intersect at points which lie along the x-axis if we consider the parallel lines to be along this axis. By the definition of perpendicular lines, the angles formed at the intersection points are 90°. As there are two intersection points on each parallel line, and due to the corresponding angle postulate, all four angles formed are equal in measure and hence are all right angles.

This can also be understood by considering vectors in physics, where if two vectors are perpendicular to each other, they form a right triangle, indicating a 90° angle between them. Knowing that parallel lines crossed by a perpendicular transversal produce angles of equal measure, and by the property that perpendicular lines form right angles, we can conclude that all angles formed in the described scenario are indeed 90°.

Are the following figures similar? Rectangles ABCD and EFGH are shown. AB equals 5. BC equals 25. EF equals 3. FG equals 15. Yes; the corresponding angles are congruent No; the corresponding angles are not congruent Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional No; the corresponding sides are not proportional

Answers

The correct answer among all the choices is C) Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional. This is the correct answer because the corresponding sides have a similar relationship of 1:5. We can see this relationship when dividing 25 by 5 & dividing 15 by 3, since their both equal to 5, we know the figures are similar. I hope I answered this question to your satisfaction. Have a good day!

Answer:

Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

If two figures are similar, the lengths of their sides are proportional.  This means if we set up a proportion with the sides we are given and cross-multiply, we get a true statement at the end of it.

Using the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH, we will compare AB to EF and BC to FG:

5/3 = 25/15

Cross multiply:

5(15) = 3(25)

75 = 75

We got a true statement, so the sides are proportional.

which angle is coterminal with 153°

Answers

It will be:

Positive Cotermintal Angles - 513 & 873
                        
and
Negative Coterminal Angles -  -207 -567

To find a coterminal angle with 153°, we can either add 360° to get 513° or subtract 360° to get -207°, both of which have the same terminal side as 153°.

To find an angle that is coterminal with 153°, we add or subtract multiples of 360° to the original angle. Adding 360° to 153° gives us 513° as one such coterminal angle. Subtracting 360° from 153° provides us with -207° as another coterminal angle. Both of these angles have the same terminal side position as 153° when plotted in standard position on a coordinate system.
